Is my cancer curable?

It depends on the cancer, so there is no single answer. Some can be cured. Some are held in check for years with treatment. Your team knows which one they are aiming for in your case.

Ask them straight out: what is the goal of my treatment? It is a fair question, and you are allowed to ask it more than once.
